What this means for those of you running Chrome on one of the aforementioned operating systems is no further updates or security fixes. This effectively means your browsing will become more vulnerable with each passing day. However, Chrome will continue to work for you in its current state for the foreseeable future.

While the discovery of new vulnerabilities in software is normally dealt with swiftly by the company maintaining it, which normally issues patches to resolve the issue, Apple is no longer supporting QuickTime for Windows. This effectively means you’re on your own.
